Your Coastal Celebration

WEDNESDAY 30th to FRIDAY 1st JANUARY

This New Year, make the coast your home. At The Gallivant in East Sussex, our New Year Escape blends calm by the dunes, seasonal food at Harry’s and the spark of midnight fireworks overlooking Camber Sands.

At The Gallivant, New Year’s Eve always feels effortless.

Imagine the tranquility of long walks along our deserted beach, or starting that good book you’ve never quite started. Evenings focus on delicious dinners, with nothing more taxing than choosing which cocktail to start the evening.

Champagne in hand, candlelights flickering, our New Year’s escape has been thoughtfully designed to balance relaxation with moments of celebration, creating memories to carry with you throughout the coming year.

*****

Your New Year’s experience includes:

Upon arrival we’ll welcome you to The Gallivant with a freshly baked cake from the kitchen, before you enjoy a delightful a la carte dinner in Harry’s.

New Year’s Eve Day starts with an early morning wellness class for those inclined before a leisurely Gallivant breakfast to decide the plans for the day.  As the dusk falls, the evening unfolds with champagne, canapés and laughter, accompanied by our brilliant pianist to set the scene.

An exquisite four-course dinner at Harry’s leads into the night’s celebration with coffee and digestifs, fireworks on our terrace, and a midnight champagne toast to ring in the New Year.

New Year’s Day can start with a restorative wellness class for the strong before another a leisurely Gallivant breakfast, giving time to reflect on the night just past and the year ahead and fond farewells.

We’ve attended to every detail to ensure your New Year’s with us will be both restorative and joyful—the perfect beginning to 2027.

We came for one night in September and were very impressed with all elements of our stay. The staff were all very accommodating and approachable. Our room was very stylish and comfortable with everything that we could have needed. We loved the eye for detail, very evident from the decor throughout the hotel. The food was extremely well judged and tasty. The atmosphere is relaxed and informal. Having the beach just over the road and an outdoor patio garden was a real bonus. There is a lot available to try (yoga, beach picnics, sundowners, oysters, tea and cake). A real gem and we will return.

We came for one night and had a wonderful stay, our third visit this year. This time we stayed in a 'Large Hampton' room and loved it, especially the large bath! A great evening meal in the restaurant followed by a Yoga class the morning after. All the staff we encountered – reception, restaurant and housekeeping were so friendly and helpful- thank you all so very much. There really is something special about this hotel! We hope to revisit before the Year's end.
